I wasn't sure how important that photo-editing was to you, so I gave you a beast of a processor. On a scale of 1-10, how important is it?

I don't think you can even get much better than this unless you want to spend $1k apiece on the GPUs. This will leave you ~$1.2k to find yourself a monitor, keyboard, and mouse of your liking.
Man, I wish I had this system.
